La Naranja, nestled at 182 Byrd St in Orange, VA, has quickly established itself as a culinary haven, receiving accolades from delighted patrons. While the venue is currently undergoing renovations, diners rave about the delicious and diverse Mexican fare that keeps them returning. AJ B praised the chicken tenders as “fantastic,” especially highlighting their fries as the best in town. Meanwhile, Diondre Johnson appreciated the fresh salad with shrimp, noting the unexpected quality in a rural setting.
Jennifer Moates called it a “gem,” lamenting that they hadn't discovered La Naranja sooner, a sentiment echoed by Carly Moore, who declared the burger a revelation.

While under obvious renovation, the food is absolutely spectacular! Have visited three times so far and have never been disappointed. The Mexican fare is delicious and the chicken tenders with fries, for the kiddos, are fantastic as well. In fact, the fries are the best I've had. The sweet tea was pretty good as well. Great job! Can't wait to see how the renovations turn out!

Modern dining space. Service was awesome. Food (salad with shrimp) was fresh and exceeded expectations considering I felt like I was in the middle of nowhere. No WiFi tho. ...

We found this little gem in the town of Orange. Little did we know this place had been opened for three years. What a waste. We would have been here way before. The food is delicious, the menu is varied. Definitely recommend

Unexpectedly great! Avoided Cinco... But enjoyed flavorful tacos and enchiladas (cannot speak to drinks as we ordered water). Comp chips & salsa was fresh and tasty. 2 people 30. Service Food Value Clean atmosphere & popular place during our lunch hour.

Efrain and his team did a phenomenal job catering our 4-13-2024 wedding. As a bride, the day leading up to a wedding come with its own level of stress and I want to highlight something in particular that shows La Naranja’s commitment to excellence. Little did I know, the roof of the establishment had been blown off in some severe weather the night before our rehearsal (aka 2 days before the wedding). Efrain worked directly with our venue to plan and implement a work around since they were unable to cook at the restaurant as they were accustom to. I did not find out about this until after we said “I do” and the team executed flawlessly despite such a set back. The food was incredible! The jalapeno poppers are still being talked about by our guests and the shrimp was absolutely delicious! 10/10! Thank you for making our day so special!
